Elie Hobeika's Legacy is his work towards eliminating Sectarianism and Confessionalism from the Lebanese Power Structure, in order to build a Modern Society in Lebanon, keen on Social Justice and Good Governance. He favored de-confessionalizing the Lebanese Government and ALL Political life, provided all participants in the democratic process commit themselves to constitutional separation of church & state...

The propensity of governments to create secrets out of the obvious is one of the more tedious aspects of international relations. But this secret is not obvious, and it is not trivial. Though it is true, and I hold the KEY.

To those who think change in not possible in DC, remember the film "Vis for Vendetta," and the quote of the hero of what was done to changeEngland and move the English people to act:

Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder, treason, and plot, I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 't was his intent To blow up the King and Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah!

(I Advocate a Revolutionary change by November 07)

Let us give the Parliament , one month from today.If you are not satisfied, gather in front of yourlocal Municipality, holding ONLY a Lebanese flag.A president should be his decision on theconstitution, the law of the land, and not whata church says. We need a Lebanese solution, nota religious right, theocratic, or other types oftotalitarian solutions Made In USA and Herzliah....-----------------------------------------------------------

Hk, Elie Hobeika will go down in history as a valiant warrior and a man of honor to all of us and especially those that had the honor of meeting him and serving with him on the various fronts. Hk, Elie Hobeika always responded to the call of duty and sacrifice with unmatched dedication and a spirit of defiance even in the darkest of days and most dire of battles. He always lifted the spirits of his comrades and showed the way, leading by example and never faltering when all hope seemed to be gone. He served his country distinctively by protecting it from thuggish Intelligence Agencies and their wickedness, from terrorist groups their backers and financiers, from international plots to divide our forces and from harm and malice for over 30 years. Lebanon continues to bleed heroes and pay the ultimate price again and again, and seems destined to a path of never-ending deaths and Political assassinations at the whim of militia commanders or world leaders and their thuggish Intelligence Agencies, CIA, OSP, MOSSAD, Syrian, Jordanian, SAUDI Military Intelligence etc. etc. . We continue to suffer the pain of losing our most noble individuals, those that chose honor, loyalty and sacrifice over corruption, betrayal and moral prostitution. Can we put an end to this cycle? How many more do we have to lose? How long do we exist in a vacuum of security and safety, at the mercy of plotters, hooligans, Killers, Murderers, from all corners of the world? How many generations of fathers, daughters and sons do we go through before Beirut stops becoming synonymous with chaos and war? When do we take control of our destiny?Our hope for answers remains in the legacy of one slain HERO, Hk, Elie Hobeika,إيلي جوزيف حبيقة .شهيدنا البطل، عميد الشهداء وعريس بسكنتا, الرئيس الشهيد إيلي حبيقة

"This appears to be the work of a small groupof officials leaking cherry-picked, un-vetted'intelligence' to key reporters in order topromote a preexisting political agenda.If this sounds like the run-upto the war with Iraq, then it should."I have been saying this for years now,about Kleiat Airbase and many other mattersof concern to Lebanon and Lebanese worldwide:The reasons why the dark clouds over Damascushave lifted can be found in Lebanon and Iran.The Syrians believe that the Americans areinterested in Iraq, the Europeans in Lebanon.By marketing itself as a stabilizing forcein both countries, Syria got invited toAnnapolis, and positive things havebeen happening to Damascus since then.There are negative ramifications inLebanon, though. The Marsh 14 Coalitionfeels betrayed by the US, with its newfoundpolicy toward Damascus.One Marsh 14 figure has been quoted as saying:"No one is going to remove the feeling fromMarsh 14 that we have been dumped by theAmericans." Everyone feels that a grandunder-the-table deal has been reached betweenSyria and the US, which encompasses Iraq andLebanon.Jeffrey Killer Feltman, the US Assassin inBeirut, has refuted these claims, saying:"There will be no US deal with the Syriansregarding Lebanon's presidency. This is anissue for the Lebanese alone to work out."The Lebanese, however, have heard that linebefore. They remember only too well how theAmericans went for engagement with Syria afterOperation Desert Storm in 1991 - partly asa reward, but mainly because they realized,after many years of tension betweenWashington and Damascus, that regionalissues cannot be solved without Syria,hence, ALL sorts of covert-ops areundertaken by the USA in collaboration withSYRIA, Israel, the DRUZEMOSSAD Henchmen in the CHOUF..., and theSAUDIS of Bandar Bin-Sultan the KillerMurderer and Assassin in Chief, but that'sanother story for another day...It's the same gang of Murderers and Killerswho assassinated Mr. Elie Hobeika and RaficHariri, with the same agenda, only this timetheir lies are on a bigger scale - and thestakes are even higher.What's amazing, to me, is that, even withthis kind of record, these guys appear to begetting away with it.Once again, the major news media outlets areacting as conduits for war propaganda - andinstead of displaying the least bit ofskepticism, they're more gullible than ever...and the "International Community" is absentminded....? the EU is Non-existent...and theArabs are simply "on-lookers" or complicit..."++++Oh, de headbone connected to de jawboneDe jawbone connected to the iPhoneDe Skull & Bones connected to GeronimoDere's human bones by railroads in ChicagoNow hear de Word of de Lord...

Some of you may have seen the lengthyanalysis pp 240... blaming geeks for whatwent wrong in Lebanon. Efficient killingmight not have been the best way to winfriends and influence people.... Now the military is on its own trying todevelop primitive CIA like capabilities(HTTs), which will likely take decades.?NO, It's already upon us today.....

More power to 'em I suppose? Taxpayersseem happy to fork out for all this hightech bling, so likely there's no stopping'em.... YET ? More Political Assassinations.

So who said "military intelligence" wasan oxymoron? Maybe it's a good thingoil' scarecrow is finally getting a brain(long overdue even).

"رحم الله إيلي حبيقة: حبيقة كان مبدعا في حياته وسيظل حاضرا في غيابه".

Elie Hobeika ,(1956–24 Jan 2002)(Arabic:"وعــــد: إيلي حبيقة" a Phalangist and Lebanese Forces militia commander during the Lebanese Civil War trained and supplied by USA and Israel. He turned later to a popular politician and government minister in the post-war period, best known for creating a political party called "Wa3ad", meaning : Nationalism, Laic, Democtratic. وعــــد , bent on a complete overhaul of the confessional Republic, in order to build a modern, laic and effective civil form of government and constitutional reforms.

In fact, Mr. Elie Hobeika is thoroughly missed nowadays, for if he were to be here, he would have known how to foresee, prevent and deal effectively with all threats surrounding Lebanon. If the Israeli Agent Robert Fisk would indulge in more fabrications, I would say that he would write about Elie Hobeika having killed in Battle tens of Thousands of terrorists in all camps of Lebanon, and Elie would know how to make sure that none of them ever comes back to foment trouble for Lebanon or the Lebanese, unlike the pawns occupying the Lebanese government offices illegally today, creating massive gridlock of monumental proportions, unbecoming of Lebanese and of Lebanon the "message".In a broader sense, however, the new fighting does reflect the same troubling reality about Lebanon - a country wracked by outbreaks of militancy it must struggle to contain, pulled this way and that by the region's main players: Syria, Iran, Israel and the United States,but the only person who would have been able to handle all these contradictory forces is now dead, Mr. Elie Hobeika, taken out of the equation in January 2002 by these "same" dark forces, for they knew that he would have been a formidable foe and an obstacle to all their deadly Machiavellian designs on the Lebanon.

Early Years

Hobeika was born in Kleiat, Lebanon in 1956. He finished his schooling at 20 years of age, by which time he had already joined Lebanon's Phalange Party and by the start of the war he was a member of the militia of that organisation. The following year Hobeika became commander of the southern sector for the Phalange. During a lull in the fighting in 1975 Hobeika worked for Banco do Brasil, rejoining the militia. Later he was promoted to head of the third division of the Phalange in charge of special operations and in 1979 promoted to security chief of the Lebanese Forces (combined militias) as head of Intelligence, a national hero in war and in peace, a Heroes' Hero and the greatest man ever, and no matter how hard you try to denigrate this great Leader, within zion-wikipedia or anywhere else on the planet, this man's record will stand tall for generations to come until resurection. Elie Hobeika is the greatest Leader the world will ever know.****************************************************Tribute in Pictures... RIP. HK.-------------------------------------------*********************************************

The Syrians still interfered in the parliamentary elections of 2000 in order to defeat Mr. Elie Hobeika. As a result, many of their traditional allies, including Prime Minister Salim Al-Hoss and Maronite MP and ex-minister Mr. Elie Hobeika, were defeated at the polls.

He has been mentioned by the Israelis, for his alleged role in the Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 and for allegations that the atrocities were committed in collusion with Israeli military authorities ocupying west Beirut in september of 1982. "The 760 civilians were murdered by a combination of IDF Sayyeret Metkals, SLA militias of SAAD Haddad, brought on the scene by IAF C130 Hercules to BIA, and some LF militias]. Before his assassination Mr. Hobeika called a press conference. "I am in possession of evidence of my innocence concerning Sabra and Shatila. And I have evidence of what actually happened at Sabra and Shatila which will throw a completely new light on the Kahan commission report."

(For the full text of the agreement see Toksoz 1986, 82-83; see also Sirhal 1990, 131-148.)1985/86: " وعــــد ".

Most of the points agreed upon in these talks found their way into the Taif Agreement of 1989 (Salem 1992a).

Lebanese Civil War

Over the next few years as support for the Lebanese Forces declined, and in 1984, Samir Geagea, Karim Pakradouni, and Elie Hobeika forced the resignation of the then commander of the Lebanese Forces, Fuad Abu Nadir. Fouad Abu Nadir was considered too close to Amine Gemayel (he was Gemayel's nephew). Amine, unlike his brother Bachir was disliked by all the LF leaders. Elie Hobeika was named head of the LF after Abou Nader's removal.

On January 15, 1986, Oliver North led a coup, from the American Embassy in Beirut that removed Elie Hobeika from Lebanese Forces command, mainly due to Hobeika signing the Tripartite Accord(For the full text of the agreement see Toksoz 1986, 82-83; see also Sirhal 1990, 131-148.) with Nabih Berri and Walid Jumblat in full coordination with all forces in Lebanon, active politically, including the Maronite Patriarch. Hobeika was besieged in his Qarantina headquarters by Geagea's men (Elias el Murr was trapped with Hobeika in the same building) and was evacuated by Michel Aoun after strong American pressures. He and his supporters fled to Paris. They returned to Lebanon as a pro-Laic LF faction and were stationed in Zahle. In 1990 Hobeika supported the parliamentary faction against Syria in the war initiated by Michel Aoun.

After the civil war ended in 1990 Hobeika became Minister for the Displaced. In October 1992 he was appointed Minister for Social Affairs and the Handicapped. He was reassigned to the Ministry of Electricity and Water in 1996, a period which saw massive power projects in Baddawi and Zahrani, Zouk And Baalbeck, and massive electrical grid installation and distribution throughout Lebanon, including the outlying areas still in turmoil with Israeli Forces in the south, hence the progress was too slow compared to the massive increase in the Megawatts needed, since little electricity projects were accomplished over 18 years of civil unrest, mainly because of the Israeli operation Grapes of Wrath. In 1998, General Emile Lahoud became president of Lebanon and appointed Selim Hoss Prime Minister.In 2000 Hobeika lost his parliament seat, due to Syrian active interference in the Polls against Hobeika . In June 2001, Chebli Mallat, a left-wing Maronite lawyer, filed a case against Ariel Sharon in Belgium under a law that permitted to sue foreigners for crimes against humanity.Just before his death, Elie Hobeika publicly declared his intention to testify against Ariel Sharon about his involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacre in a Belgian court's trial for crimes against humanity. A Belgian senator, Josy Dubie, was quoted as saying that Hobeika had told him several days before his death that he had "revelations" to disclose about the massacres and felt "threatened". When Dubie had asked him why he did not reveal all the facts he knew immediately, Hobeika is reported to have said: "I am saving them for the trial". Lebanese Interior Minister Elias Murr has accused Israel of being behind the act, citing a trace on the license plates of the sedan. The case was later dropped as the Belgian law was amended.Elie Hobeika is a Heroe's Hero wall to wall, from birth till death.

Hobeika's assassination

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hobeika's assassination

It was done by Ariel Sharon and Shaoul Mofaz, Orchestrated for them by OSP of the Pentagon,together with Assef Shawkat of Syrian Military Intelligence, planned by Jamil El-Sayyed, executed by Raymond Azar of Lebanese military Intelligence.

National Journal:

Just before his death, Elie Hobeika publicly declared his intention to testify against Ariel Sharon about his involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacre in a Belgian court's trial for crimes against humanity. A Belgian senator, Josy Dubie, was quoted as saying that Hobeika had told him several days before his death that he had "revelations" to disclose about the massacres and felt "threatened". When Dubie had asked him why he did not reveal all the facts he knew immediately, Hobeika is reported to have said: "I am saving them for the trial". Lebanese Interior Minister Elias Murr has accused Israel of being behind the act, citing a trace on the license plates of the sedan. The only sad part is the Lebanese "Gullible" STOOGES of the March 14th pawns of the Neocons, who believe all the American/Israeli Crap. Of course Hariri and many others were KILLED by the Syrians of Assef Shawkat the thuggish monster, but the machinations which entrapped" Hariri and others... into Believing wholeheartedly that the WEST and ISRAEL are "finally" going after the Alaouite Syrian regime of the ASSADS, and are about to destroy them for good.... are so NAIVE beyond belief..... and the FACTS have proven so far that these Lebanese have been "used", and are still being used so badly , solely for the aims of the US Neocons and Israel, and even Jacques Chirac believed this story-line.... only for a while, in order to get him on board the band wagon of assassinations made in Mossad and CIA,the good old boys network of 911. Of course, the net result in 2005 is a Syrian exit from Lebanon, and that's very good, but no change of regime will take place in Syria, and Hariri should have known better.... BUT, this is for another day,since the Syrian regime, had penetrated these extreme groups all along, and the CIA/MOSSAD clique knew it also, before Hariri,was "nudged" into giving the most extreme elements of the Moslem brotherhood's in Syria money,in order for ASSEF SHAWKAT and his Military Intelligence goons to "discover" Rafic,and do the suicide bombing of the century.Ghazi Kanaan will fall into this trap again later, and will be presented with the most damning evidence by Asef Shawkat, before he was "suicided" in his Damascus office of the interior ministry, courtesy of Asef Shawkat. Excellent planning, courtesy of the folks of Herzlyiah/Mossad and Langley's CIA, the good old boyz network of 911....

MY FRIEND ELIE HOBEIKA, HK

MY FRIEND ELIE HOBEIKA, HK

One can see the wisdom in his very visage. The hazel eyes, glowing from sockets lined with deep suntan emotions, beam with the brilliance of a limelight. His hair, looking like spun silver, sits neatly in place upon his head. Yet, as he nods slightly, it sparkles, each strand in concert, as if to echo the exuberance of his own nature.
His nose, strong and stately, arcs proudly above the overshadowed yet undaunted mouth. The lips, bold as they are, show incredible kindness and generosity, especially when he curls them into one of his particularly boyish grins. His countenance mirrors his being and in that beautiful angel face one can see a child playing in a meadow.
His forty six years do not show themselves in his posture. He stands tall, erect; and moves with unmitigated grace. Always dressed in perfect clothes, his bright colors dazzle and shine in the Lebanon sun. What a sight this man is to behold! The experiences, heartbreaks, loves, joys, and victories of forty six years of living, all combine into one fascinating embodiment within him, a Heroes' Hero and the greatest man ever.
